The barefaced lies of the IRS should be typed in boldface in every newspaper. The odds of separate hard-drive crashes that only affected the computers of those IRS employees whose emails to and from the White House could be damaging are close to zero. It is akin to simultaneous heart attacks afflicting each of the witnesses who are about to testify in a mob trial.

Homework time!

For extra credit, I have a Free Republic website issue.
I am the proud owner of two iPod Touch devices. On the newer one, every time I turn it on and go to Free Republic, I have to reenter my (long) screen name and (even longer) password. I must have a box checked (or unchecked) that is causing this, since my older device works without necessitating the extraneous typing of those tiny little letters.

Any thoughts?

Islamic extremists keep challenging Florida ID rules because they do not want their women to appear barefaced in photos.

Have you checked your account perameters? There is a box that says “remember my password”. Check that box.

When you're about to puke, do not put your hand in front of your mouth, or you'll end up barfaced...

There are options on the screen where you log in that either keep you signed in on this particular computer or log you out automatically when you close the browser. Pick the right option when you sign in and you are gold.

[Diogenesis]

With the world now FAR beyond what was envisioned
and underestimated in sophomoric "1984".

Today there remain several relevant, important double-plus unbarefaced things.

1. Executive Director In Obamas’ Lois Lerner Approved Terrorist Empire REVEALED As A U.S. Intelligence ...

As always, 2.

A++++

The extra plus is for your suggestion on logging in. It looks like the box I needed to check was "More Convenient." That, apparently, keeps login info without the need to re-enter. Thanks.

[afraidfortherepublic]

That was going to be my next suggestion, although it doesn’t always work for me.

I've been barfaced. I've even been what George Carlin used to call "sh**faced."

Thanks, Dave. Of course, if I were "gold" instead of "TruthShallSetYouFree," logging in wouldn't be such a big deal.

Terrorist organizations with ties to the Regime had no trouble getting tax-exempt status from Lois Lerner. Those groups with an anti-Regime bias, i.e., those that favor Freedom, Liberty, and the Constitution, are still waiting.

I am the proud owner of two iPod Touch devices.

It's a bold face you put on that barefaced lie. Your pride will be your downfall.

“Proud owner” was slightly tongue-in-cheek, as you probably surmised.

Welcome to our Word For The Day thread. If you’ve been here before, welcome back!

H'mm. How many of our responses will deal with the barefaced liars ubiquitous in our gov't, who keep getting more and more (SHEESH!!) barefaced over time?

How barefaced can they get? (No, don't tell me.)

and the inevitable:

are you logged in?

Now I know what it must have been like living in Germany in the 1930s. Everyone knew what was happening, but the majority ignored it.

[HammerT]

The Obama regime’s admonitions that they just happen to have lost Lois Lerner’s e-mails with the White House for 2 years AND they just happen to have lost the e-mails for six other people AND refused to get the e-mails of the back up tapes AND recycled her hard drive AND just happen to have canceled a contract with a archival service just after all this happened is a barefaced Lie.

[cyn]

True — I always wondered how such things were allowed to happen. Now I know.

Off now to have fun with datil peppers.

Excellent.

By the way, I see a few new faces today. Anyone who wishes to be added to our ping list, just send me a private reply. Love to have you.
